DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS

Below, exemplary embodiments will be described in detail with reference to accompanying drawings so as to be easily realized by a person having ordinary knowledge in the art. The exemplary embodiments may be embodied in various forms without being limited to the exemplary embodiments set forth herein. Descriptions of well-known parts are omitted for clarity, and like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout.

Hereinafter, features of respective elements of a voice recognition system according to an exemplary embodiment will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 1. FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a voice recognition system according to an exemplary embodiment. As shown therein, a voice recognition system 1 may include a display apparatus 100 and a voice recognition server 300, or may include only a display apparatus 100.

The display apparatus 100 includes a signal receive 110, an image processor 120, a voice receiver 130, a controller 140, and a display unit 150, and may further include at least one of a voice recognition portion 135, a communication portion 170 and a storage portion 160. The display apparatus 100 may be implemented as, e.g., a TV, and may be connected to a voice recognition server 300 through the communication portion 170.

The signal receiver 110 receives an image signal of at least one channel. The signal receiver 110 may be provided as various types depending on a standard of a received image signal and an implementation type of the display apparatus 100. For example, the signal receiver 110 may be implemented as a tuner to receive a radio frequency (RF) broadcasting signal from a broadcasting station. Otherwise, the signal receiver 110 may be connected to a peripheral imaging device such as a digital versatile disc (DVD) or a personal computer (PC) to receive an image signal therefrom.

The image processor 120 processes a received image signal according to preset image processing operations. The image processing operations of the image processor 120 includes, without limitation, decoding, de-interlacing, scaling, noise reduction, detail enhancement, etc. The image processor 120 may be implemented as a system-on-chip (SoC) which performs integrated functions of the aforementioned operations, or as an image processing board on which individual elements are installed to perform the aforementioned operations independently.

The display unit 150 displays an image thereon based on an image signal that is output by the image processor 120. The display unit 150 may be implemented as various types including, without limitation, a plasma display panel (PDP), a liquid crystal display (LCD), an organic light emitting diodes (OLED) and a flexible display.

The voice receiver 130 receives a user's voice command. The voice receiver 130 receives a user's voice command as a single voice signal. Since the voice signal that is received by the voice receiver 130 may include various noises in addition to a user's voice which is subject to voice recognition, the voice receiver 130 may extract a user's voice from the received voice signal through a pre-processing operation, such as frequency analysis, and perform a voice recognition to the extracted voice.

The controller 140 determines at least one of a user's current usage status with respect to the display apparatus 100 and a function that is currently performed by the display apparatus 100. For example, the user's current usage status and the function currently performed by the display apparatus 100 may include a TV channel watching status or Internet search, TV menu selection or :content execution status. By using at least one of the user's current usage status and the function currently performed by the display apparatus 100 as determined by the controller 140, the controller 140 determines an operation corresponding to a received voice command, and performs the determined operation.

Out of a plurality of operations corresponding to results of a voice recognition that has been performed according to a voice command received by the voice receiver 130, the controller 140 may determine an operation corresponding to at least one of a user's current usage status and a function currently performed by the display apparatus 100 and may perform the determined operation. Examples of the operation corresponding to the results of the voice recognition may include a TV channel change, display of Internet search results, TV menu execution, and execution of contents such as movies, videos and music files.

The controller 140 may determine at least one function by using at least one of a user's current usage status and a function currently performed by the display apparatus 100, and a voice recognition of a voice command.

More specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the controller 140 may determine a service that corresponds to at least one of a user's current usage status and a function currently performed by the display apparatus 100 out of a plurality of services that may be provided by the display apparatus 100, and may determine at least one operation corresponding to the determined service. The plurality of services includes various services that may be provided by the display apparatus 100 such as provision of TV broadcasting channels, provision of contents such as movies, video and music files, Internet, home shopping, and interactive VOD service. The controller 140 may determine what a user's current usage status is among a plurality of usage statuses including at least one of channel selection chat, menu selection and search request. For example, if a user is doing a video chat while watching TV news, a user's current usage status may be determined to be ‘channel selection’ or ‘chat’. If a user's speech is ‘I'm hungry’ or ‘order pizza’, the user's current status may be determined to be ‘chat’ rather than ‘channel selection’ and an ‘order service’ may be determined to be a corresponding service based on the user's speech.

The controller 140 may determine at least one operation based on a degree of similarity to a service corresponding to at least one of a user's current usage status and a function currently performed by the display apparatus 100, out of a plurality of operations corresponding to results of a voice recognition performed. In an exemplary embodiment, if a service corresponding to a user's current usage status is ‘provision of broadcasting channel’, an ‘execution of TV broadcasting’ which is most similar to the ‘provision of broadcasting channel’ service may be determined to be a corresponding operation out of a plurality of operations, such as ‘execution of TV broadcasting’, ‘execution of cable broadcasting’ and ‘execution of VOD on the Internet’, which are related services.

Information related to classification of a user's voice command and a user's current usage status, classification of service corresponding to a current usage status and classification of operations corresponding to services may be stored as corresponding data in the storage portion 160 for management.

If a user gives a predetermined voice command for an operation performed, the controller 140 may control the display unit 150 to display thereon a user selection window (not shown) for a plurality of operations corresponding to results of a voice recognition. That is, if an operation performed according to a user's voice command is not an operation desired by a user, a user may give a predetermined voice command such as ‘cancel’ or ‘another screen’, and accordingly the display unit 150 may display thereon a user selection window showing a predetermined number of operations corresponding to results of voice recognition in the order or priority based on the degree of similarity for a user to select an operation.

In another exemplary embodiment, the display apparatus 100 may further include a storage portion 160 to store therein information related to a user's received voice command and information of the operation performed according to the voice command. In such case, if a received user's voice command is a voice command that is stored in the storage portion 160, the controller 140 may perform an operation based on the information related to the stored operation. For example, if the operation of ‘execution of SBS news channel’ has been performed according, to a user's voice command such as ‘SBS’ the past and related information has been stored in the storage portion 160 and if a user's voice command of ‘SBS’ is received again thereafter, the display apparatus 100 may forgo the determination process of an operation that corresponds to results of voice recognition, and may receive operation information corresponding to the voice command ‘SBS’ from the storage portion 160, and may perform the operation.

The display apparatus 100 may further include a voice recognition portion 135 to perform a voice recognition with respect to a voice command received by the voice receiver 130. The voice recognition portion 135 performs a voice recognition with respect to a voice command that is received by the voice receiver 130. The voice recognition portion 135 may he implemented as an embedded engine that is provided in the display apparatus 100, or as an additional voice recognition server 300 according to another exemplary embodiment, or as a single processor including the controller 140.

The voice recognition portion 135 may recognize a particular word that is set for a user's voice input that is given to control the display apparatus 100. For example, if a user inputs a voice signal such as ‘channel up’, ‘power off’ or ‘mute’, the voice recognition portion 135 may recognize the voice signal and if the voice signal is recognized as one of preset languages included in a stored language list, may output the recognized language data. The embedded engine may be implemented by a memory with a small capacity, and may provide superior speed.

In another exemplary embodiment, the display apparatus 100 may be connected to a voice recognition server 300 to perform a voice recognition with respect to a voice command that is received by the voice receiver 130. If the voice recognition portion 135 is provided as the voice recognition server 300, the display apparatus 100 may transmit a voice signal corresponding to the voice command received by the voice receiver 130, to the voice recognition server 300 through the communication portion 170, and may receive results of voice recognition from the voice recognition server 300. Unlike the case where the voice recognition portion 135 is implemented as an embedded engine, the voice recognition server 300 may recognize various words or consecutive words. For example, inputting a particular search word in a search window or inputting a sentence through an application such as social networking service (SNS) requires recognition of many words, and thus it is not easy to recognize such words through the embedded engine. But such recognition may be performed through the voice recognition server 300.

In another exemplary embodiment, the voice recognition portion 135 may be implemented as a single processor included in the controller 140. In such case, the voice recognition portion 135 may be included in the controller 140 rather than being an additional component of the display apparatus.
